Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 early carrots,
2 or 3 early potatoes,
Half a lettuce,
150 g of early green peas,
One onion,
Salt pepper,
1 coffee spoon of oil,
Some sugar ( less than a coffee spoon )

Steps:

In a stewpot on low heat, spread oil and add carrots and potatoes, plus the onion( peeled and cut in pieces ). Leave everything for 15 minutes and stir sometimes to avoid vegetable to stick to the bottom. Then add the half lettuce cut in pieces. Cover with a lid and leave it for 5 minutes. Lettuce will loose all its water, and you will get some juice. Then add peas. You can add a little spoon of sugar if you wish : this will bring a nice sweet taste. Add salt and pepper. Cover with ta lid and remain on low heat. Carry on cooking for 60 minutes at least, more if peas are not cooked. During those 60 minutes, stir sometimes. Add water if necessary ( half a glass ): there should always be some juice. See what you get !
